TR EATING TEXTILE FABRICS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 252,383, dated January 17, 1882. Application filed August 16,1881. (Specimens) To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, PETTER ANDREAS GEORG JUEL, residing at the city of Wurzen,

' y in the Kingdom of Saxony and 'Empire ofGer- 5 many, have invented Improvements in Treating Textile Fabrics, of which the following is a specification. V

The object of this invention is to produce a textile fabric having a highly ornamental metallic appearance.

The invention consists of a pliable fabric composed of a textile base and a burnished metallic coating composed'of a prepared mixture of ground metaland liquid caoutchouc.

The invention consists, further, in the process of producing a burnished metallic textile fabric, consisting in first coating the textile base with a prepared mixture of ground metal and caoutchouc, then drying the fabiic, and

subsequently burnishing the coating. The

burnished metallic textile fabric may be embossed and printed in ornamental figures.

V In manufacturing my improved textile fabrics I proceed as follows: Any suitable metal is first ground to a more or less fine powder by any approved apparatus, and then mixed with a suitable adhesivesubstance-such as,for instance,caoutchonc. This mixture is then trans ferred to one surface of the fabric, either by hand or by mechanical means. Any textile fabric, whether it be cotton, wool, linen, silk,

or any other material, may be coated in this manner. Thesurface of the coating is glazed after drying, and, finally, any desired pattern 5 or design produced upon the same by pressing,

embossing, or printing.

The fabric which is produced in this manneris soft and pliable, and has a peculiar metallic appearance. As the mixture ofthe ground 40 metal and the adhesive substance is not able -coating.
